Eliminating Israel ETH STD 198 at UC Berkeley

The code reads, “ “Commercial purpose” means any purpose that has financial or economic gain as an objective.” Recordings for personal use, for the purpose of analyzing the veracity of the material presented, or to post online for the world to see what is being taught at Cal — totally permitted.

Organized opposition to Israel on campus and a Jewish right to live in the land of Israel under their own jurisdiction are now part of the campus climate across the world. We can counteract that at Cal — and elsewhere — by generously supporting Jewish life and Israel programming with donations to Jewish orgs on campus.

We can also ensure that those who want to demonize and delegitimize Israel are fully exposed to the campus and world as lousy scholars who are cloaking their racism in academic pajamas.
